Paatal Lok Review: Goes from Paatal Lok Straight to Swarg!

Amazon Prime Video came out with a neo-noir thriller series 'Paatal Lok'. The series stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Ishwak Singh and Neeraj Kabi, Abhishek Banerjee in the lead roles with Gul Panag, Deepak Tiwari, Rajesh Sharma supporting this able cast. This 9 episode series is directed by Avinash Arun and Prosit Roy and produced by Anushka Sharma. 

                                                     Paatal Lok (2020-)

What's Good: Acting: Terrific acting performances by such a talented cast but it is Ishwak Singh's Imran Ansari who stands out and shines. Story: The story is undoubtedly the real king of Paatal Lok. Dark, Gritty, Merciless and Ruthless storyline is extremely phenomenal and totally leaves you in splits. Cinematography: The story needed a good complement from the cinematography which is delivered to it by the ace director and cinematographer. Technicalities: The technicalities of the series is decent however choppy editing in parts makes things appear a bit hammy. Relevance: The relevance of this series resonates a 10-fold as per the current times.

                                     Paatal Lok Review: Neeraj Kabi and Jaideep Ahlawat hit it out of ...

What's Bad: Forced Melodrama: Even though it is meant for the side story purpose, the melodrama in episodes 5&6 unexpectedly take the front seat and thrill gets lost in somewhere amidst the melodrama. An additional episode: Perhaps removing either of the episodes mentioned above would suffice!

                                       Paatal Lok review: Black-hearted but brave, Anushka Sharma's show ...\

Anushka, the producer never disappoints! And this time also, she did not! 'Paatal Lok' qualifies for a MUST WATCH only if you can tolerate violence, cuss words and blood.....lots of blood! I am going with 3.75 stars for 'Paatal Lok'. Do watch it! It deserves a lot of love and appreciation!

Qissa Controversy Ka: SSR and Nepotism!

14th June 2020. Bandra West, Mumbai. It has been 12 days since Sushant Singh Rajput has left the world. We accept it or not but, his death has impacted us to a great extent more than any other death in the film fraternity. There are uncountable  rumours  regarding his death and it is really shameful that it took a Death to realize the roots of Nepotism and Favourites that run in this industry! In the blog post, I would just like to share some radical views about the statements and the controversies that evolved  after his death.                                JUDGEMENTALITY:  Probably after the Nepotism debate, the most talked-about reason for his suicide is the Rhea Chakraborty And Mahesh Bhatt angle. Just because intimate pictures between Mahesh and Rhea have started doing rounds on the internet, the public has come to the conclusion (let alone an assumption) that there is something brewing between the two. Well, it is very obvious that the partner/spouse is suspected in that case

Sushant Singh Rajput: An Inspiration and a Legend!

It has been 42 days since Sushant Singh Rajput left for his heavenly abode on the 14th of June, 2020. In this write-up, The Bollywood Elephant pays a heartfelt tribute to the late Sushant Singh Rajput. May he find semblance in his mother's arms up there. Sushant carved your own niche in the galaxy far away yet near. We hope that we could bring him back using quantum physics by igniting chemistry. His dreams and passion are embedded in our hearts and become an immortal source of motivation. His death makes me realize the uncertainty and fear of life. His uncertain exit from our galaxy was unsettling but opened a chapter about life consumed by depression. I recall how he always wanted to be an astronaut and in one of his interviews, he said, "Let's be an actor and let's be everything" with the same energy and gusto as a naive and a simple guy with Bollywood dreams! Thereafter, he unravelled his dreams through cinema and stuck to what he believed! When I first read a

Kalank Review: After Kalank, you will need a 'Palang' because 'Tabaah Ho Gaye'!

After so many delays, Dharma Productions magnum opus 'Kalank'  starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Kunal Kemmu, Kiara Advani, Anchint Kaur etc. etc. It is scripted and directed by a 1-filmed old director Abhishek Varman.                                           What's Good:   Acting:  Credit is given where it is due. Acting performances are top notch. Aditya and Sonakshi are hands down the best! They are ably supported by the rest of the ensemble cast but these rightfully deserve every accolade. Costume and Set Design:  The costume and set design are absolutely spectacular and Bhansali level. Costumes are well depicted by Manish Malhotra. Music:  Surprisingly, Pritam's music is one of the better things of this magnum opus.                                          What's Bad:  Story:  The story has so many interesting sub-plots which are let down because the main/central plot on which the
